tysm my friend just got a computer from her nana and we've been trying for a while to make her an account. this video helped a lot!

[markkulyas]

I wish people would explain what the process is doing inside the computer. How is it keeping the two accounts separated, is it creating a partition on the hard drive.

Question. We have 1 Base computer in the house for two of us. So would this added user (standard) have access to the Microsoft Office products if their installed under the main (admin) user ? Also, would the added user be able to access the main users files (documents, pictures, video's, music, etc) ? Or is there separate private folders, if so are their shared folders as well ?

Is there a way to have two users using the pc at the same time on diffrent monotors?

How do you separate the desktops? My desktop is the sane as my other user. Any change they do on the desktop it changes on mine as well.

2:40 Have being using win10 for years and never connected to MS... And while they try to hide the option to do so in plain sight, it was never omitted.
On the other hand Win11 really tries to force you into connecting with a MS account by completely omitting the option to login without it, yet there are works around it.

Does the two users have to share storage? If so, if I install two storage devices (like a m.2 ssd) will the two get their own?

If I was to create a local account without my email and then later on decided I want it linked to my Microsoft email will I be able to do this ? Will it then have my local account and Microsoft as one ?

Relative has me troubleshooting HP 9015E not fully installing because printer does not complete registering. Have spent 4 days on phone with HP support. Printer does print and scans only using the PC app, not with HP Smart. Tried to install the complete 9015 sw but tech said it was already installed. Could it be that HP Smart is already installed on a profile and am trying to re-install printer on wrong profile (#2, the profile the relative has asked me to use)? Obviously, I am not familiar with profiles and how programs operate between Wins profiles. OS Win 10

Additional info. Short story. Relative known to use two profiles on PC when using Win 8. Now upgraded to 10. 9015e had been fully functioning for months on Win 10 before HP and I had to recently get involved. Printer would not print or scan. 9015e has repeatedly been (re)installed by HP through remote desktop on profile (call it #2 profile, possibly wron one) while I watched. After 4 days, I can only assume 9015e is fully functioning on #1 profile and we've been working on wrong profile this whole time. Again, not my PC, unfamiliar with Win 10, profiles - and how they can affect program installations.

I have to share my pc with my dad for work and gaming, we set up separate accounts to sign into but if I add my games to my desktop they will add to his desktop and so on. How do I set my desktops so that they won't mess with his? Thanks!
